Concho, the Coyote Who Wasn't

About This Movie

Concho, the Coyote Who Wasn't is a unique little film that mixes adventure with a family-friendly drama. Directed by Jack Couffer, it offers a rather gentle pacing that draws you into this world where a coyote, raised by an old Navajo named Delgado, believes he's a sheepdog—a premise that’s both endearing and whimsically tragic. It not only explores themes of identity and acceptance but also features some pretty solid practical effects that enhance the natural landscapes. The performances, particularly that of the coyote, have a raw quality that feels authentic. It's not your typical animated or CGI affair; instead, it relies on the charm of its live-action storytelling and the bond between man and animal.

Considered a hidden gem in family cinema.Offers a blend of adventure and introspection.Notably strong themes of belonging.
